Amit Shah Claim Of BJP's Phase 1 Show Earns Mamata Banerjee Incredulity
NDTV
West Bengal elections: Amit Shah said the BJP was set to win 26 of 30 seats that went to vote in the first phase on Saturday.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah's claim that the BJP will win 26 of the 30 seats for which polling was held in the first phase of West Bengal assembly elections a day ago, earned a major eyeroll from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who said that "the people's verdict will be evident after votes are counted." Not naming Mr Shah, who made the statement at a BJP press conference in New Delhi earlier in the day, Ms Banerjee questioned how such a claim could be made just a day after the elections were held. Votes for all eight phases of the election are set to be counted on May 2. "A leader today said that the BJP will win 26 of 30 seats, why did he not claim all 30, did he leave the rest for Congress and CPI(M)?" Ms Banerjee quipped, addressing a rally in the Chandipur constituency, next to Nandigram, from where she is contesting. Asserting that she will not predict anything, Ms Banerjee said that it is the people's verdict which will be evident after counting.
